Hi Jennifer,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me. Do you remember how you were diagnosed with eosinophilic asthma? Do you have to take medication to keep the level at normal range? When your rest heart rate goes up, do you know if the eosinophil level is high? I alway wonder about that.

Thanks again.

@wangling I was diagnosed at Mayo. The only Rx I was given was a Qvar inhaler. I do treat my allergies and use air filters and I do OK. I was started on the lowest dose of Qvar and told I could take a double dose of if I need it. If the mold count is high outside, that’s when I have more trouble. I don’t know any of the numbers from my bloodwork. Most of the time I do OK. When my heart rate is up it is because of phlegm. If it is an infection, clearing the phlegm doesn’t help the heart rate. Otherwise just using the rescue inhaler Xopenex doesn’t raise my heart rate very much, unless it is in a nebulizer that is more effective at getting it deep into the lungs.
